Brief summary:lots of boys playing boisterously at a party I'd organised,parents present. A boy got hurt: bruising to leg just below knee,he was quite upset,I gave him some Calpol (with his mum's permission) to try and help and thought it looked like a bruise consistent with banging his leg
At school today the boy's mum pulled me aside and said that her son had told her later that my son had punched him in the leg,and another child had backed up the story.I apologised and said I would have a word with him,and said he can be a bit rough but rarely deliberately harms anyone (except his brothers )but that it definitely would be dealt with.
DS admitted he was responsible and that he accidentally tripped up the boy and did not punch him. I do actually believe him as although he does fight sometimes he always admits it and says what he has done.The boy involved is a very sensitive ,calm boy, not someone who would provoke any sort of fight and an unprovoked punch seems very unlikely.
What do I say to his mum?I've already said sorry but do I now say it wasn't deliberate ,it was just an accidental trip or would that piss you off if it was your son that had got hurt?
